I just bought my first home in Melton South for $180k, 3 bedroom, split level with ducted heating. I was persuaded by all my workmates, most of whom live there.

Hi Richardo,

I too am new to this and am looking for potential investment partners (my family and friends think I am mad to invest in the country). I’m also in Melbourne and if you are still interested I would like to discuss what you are looking for in a partner?

Cheers!
